(Sheet)Rock and Roll Is Here To Stay

Sheetrock is up, even around the "cold room" in the basement. The sheetrock guys were here and gone in about an hour. Fast!
I call this one "Black Cat, White Room".
Mike tore out all the cracked plaster in the kitchen, and found no insulation behind it. Guess who's 3-hour project turned into a 2-day one? This was taken after he vacuumed out all the dust, composted dirt, and old mousy poo, sprayfoamed the gaps, and put up insulation, but before the plastic vapor barrier went up. I was watching Naomi run the Twin Cities marathon on Sunday, so I missed all the colorful language that went along with the project. Luckily half of this wall is no longer considered exterior, so it didn't need as much work.
Here's the beautiful new drywall Mike hung all by his lonesome. What a guy!
The insulation guy sprayed this green smelly foam all around the sill this morning. Hooray! This alone should save us a LOT of money this winter.
